BIG SNAKE CLIMBS A TREE
Reptile Was Fifteen Feet From the
Ground When Shot
Of all the funny things that may |
have occurredd thruout York county, |
we have a peculiar incident that!
happened within two miles of Mt.
Joy that has them all stopped. Now,
we'll admit that this is a snake
story but we would respectfully re-|
fer you to one of Rapho’s aged and
most influential residents, a farmer,
botanist and writer, Mr. H. S. Bru-
baker,
Mr, Levi Brubaker tenants his
father’s farm two miles northeast of
here, near Eby’s Church, and on
Saturday he ordered his son Benja-
min to remove all brush, limbs and]
obstructions of that kind that had
lodged on the telephone wire, lead-
ing from the public road to his
home, from the recent storms.
While looking at a tree, the
branches of which the wire passes
thru, Benjamin noticed a large black
snake coiled about a limb, not less
than fifteen feet
He hurriedly went to
where he told of his discovery, after
which he procured a gun and shot
the snake. The reptile was 43%
feet long.
Black snakes are very rare in
this locality but there seems to be
a family of them oN the Brubaker
farm. While burning brush né&ar
this same tree in the Spring Mr.
Brubaker killed two “black snakes
that measured four and five feet
respectively and a short time ago
Mr. Jacob Gephart killed one of
about the same length in that viein-
ity.
The presumption ig that the black
snake had climbed the tree in an
effort to catch birds, of which they
are very fond.

Festival, Aug, 14
Last year the Mt. Joy A. C. foot
ball team quit the season with a
deficit of $35 and as a result
there will be no team this year, as
far as the club is concerned. Now.
an athletic association will make a
try and as a starter will hold a fes.
tival in the park here on Saturday,
Aug, 14, when many good things to
eat will be served, The Citizens’

everybody will turn out and encour-
age the team. Don’t forget the date,
